Chapter 189: The Pendant Appeared Again
However, they could clearly hear Bryce fiddling with something.
“It’s open! Why is it a pendant? Is the key hidden inside this pendant?”
Lauren was alarmed. Something was not right.
“Don’t touch that pendant!”
Lauren immediately took off her 3D glasses.
The room was still quite bright. Lauren saw Bryce holding a wooden box in his hand. Inside the box was a pendant.
Bryce did not listen to Lauren. Instead, he picked up the pendant and focused all his attention on getting the key to continue the challenge.
However, the moment he touched the pendant, his entire body suddenly twitched and he fainted on the ground. The pendant also fell to the ground and flashed with a red light before it returned to normal.
Franklin also realized that something was wrong. After taking off his glasses, he saw Bryce who was unconscious on the ground.
Mr. Hayes, Ben and Quinn were still hiding in a corner.
“Don’t startle the three of them for now.”
Lauren squatted down to look at Bryce. Then, she shifted her gaze to the pendant on the ground.
This pendant looked very familiar. It was clearly the pendant that Pauline had brought for those artistes.
No wonder Bryce had said that his hand had been cut by accident. For a top-notch amusement park like Star Dream Amusement Park, such mistake of exposing a nail would definitely not occur as this would be dangerous for any customer. Therefore, Bryce was definitely not cut by a nail, but by a deliberate act.
Bryce had bled. In addition, he had touched this pendant. So, his soul was sucked into the pendant.
Fortunately, Lauren was already familiar with these things.
Lauren did not understand why these things would appear in a haunted house, but the most important thing was to rescue Bryce first.
She took out the soul-returning talisman from her pocket dimension and recited the talisman with ease.
The time for the soul-returning talisman to take effect was getting faster and faster. In less than ten seconds, Bryce’s soul had returned to its original position.
Bryce woke up and saw himself lying on the ground. He did not know what had happened.
“What happened to me?”
At this moment, the three people in the corner also realized that something was wrong. They took off their glasses and saw Bryce sitting on the ground.
“Master Bryce, what’s wrong with you?”
Bryce shook his head in confusion. “I don’t know either. I suddenly fainted. When I woke up, I was already lying on the ground.”
“Bryce has low blood sugar. It’s not a big deal.”
Franklin’s words had always been very convincing, so everyone nodded. When Bryce got up from the ground, he scratched his head.
“But I’ve never been in a situation like this before. I even ate my portion for lunch during breakfast today. How could I have low blood sugar?”
Mr. Hayes was worried about Bryce, so he pulled Bryce to the front while Lauren and Franklin stayed at the back.
Lauren picked up the pendant and put it into her pocket dimension. She planned to study it carefully when she got back.
Due to this small incident, they did not continue playing. Instead, they went out through the emergency tunnel.
After they went out, Lauren found the manager and asked him to close the haunted house for the time being.
The manager was a little surprised.
“Boss, our haunted house is very famous. A lot of visitors come here just to experience our haunted house.”
“Our haunted house has been open for so long. Has anything strange happened?”
“Strange? No, boss. It’s been more than two years since it opened, and there have never been any accidents.”
“No one has fainted?”
The manager laughed. “Of course not. Our ghosts aren’t scary. It’s just that we have 3D glasses, so it’s more realistic. Customers are willing to come and experience it.”
Lauren took out the pendant from her pocket dimension.
“Have you seen this pendant?”
The manager wanted to reach out and take a closer look, but Lauren stopped him.
So, the manager retracted his hand.
“Boss, I’ve never seen this thing before.”
Lauren agreed, but she insisted that the manager to temporarily close the haunted house.
Due to the fainting incident, Lauren was no longer in the mood to play. They set off on their return journey.
However, Lauren was still thinking about the previous incident.
For the past two years, the haunted house had been operating normally, and the pendant was also not a prop inside the haunted house. So everything that happened today was aimed at them.
However, Pauline and Irene were already dead, and Master Maverick had already been arrested by the police.
So who was the mastermind behind today’s incident?
That person must have known that they were coming to the amusement park today.
